given interval, which is counted in seconds since exit of the previous
invocation of the job. Example user crontab entry:
@25 sleep 10
The example will launch 'sleep 10' every 35 seconds. This is a rather
useless example above, but clearly explains the functionality.
The practical goal here is to avoid overlap of previous job invocation
to a new one, or to avoid too short interval(s) for jobs that last long
and doesn't have any point of immediate launch soon after previous run.
Another useful effect of interval jobs can be noticed when a cluster of
machines periodically communicates with a single node. Running the task
time based creates too much load on the node. Running interval based
spreads invocations across machines in cluster. Note that -j/-J won't
help in this case.

Some mpc85xx devices with u-boot need MBR partitioning with a FAT boot
partition. Since the infrastructure is already in place to have a dedicated
boot partition, this adds the necessary bits to use that infrastructure with
mpc85xx boards.

Summary:
The kernel reads 'kernelname' to set the kern.bootfile sysctl. By setting this,
'make installkernel' will backup the running kernel as appropriate.

This adds the -U options to pmcstat which will attribute in-kernel samples
back to the user stack that invoked the system call. It is not the default,
because when looking at kernel profiles it is generally more desirable to
merge all instances of a given system call together.
Although heavily revised, this change is directly derived from D7350 by
Jonathan T. Looney.

This will manage pmc functionality with a more
manageable structure of subcommands rather than the
gradually accreted spaghetti logic of overlapping flags
that exists in pmcstat.
This is intended to ultimately have all the same functionality
as pmcannotate+pmccontrol+pmcstat. Currently it just has
"stat" and "system-stat" - counters for the process itself and counters
for the system as a whole respectively (i.e. system-stat includes kernel
threads). Note that the rusage results (page faults/context switches/
user/sys) for stat-system will not account for the system as a whole -
only for the child process specified on the command line.
Implementing stat was suggested by mjg@ and the output is based on that
from Linux's "perf stat".

We do a sanity check to see if it was possible to allocate enough memory.
Also as we allocate memory, we need to free this memory used. Or it will
